Become a Tax Client: schedule.lyfetaxes.com/book-a...
As Warren Buffet says, accounting is the language of business.
He and other savvy business owners use accounting to make investment decisions and decisions to grow the businesses they invest in.
But interestingly enough, many small businesses often neglect their accounting until tax time, or don’t do it all.
9 out of 10 small businesses that fail, fail due to financial mismanagement of their company.
Their financial mismanagement may result in their failure to make decisions to grow their business, meet financial obligations like paying employees or their rent, miss tax deductions that can save them money, or fail to pay their taxes all together.
Look, I get it. As a CPA that studies and practices accounting, I know that accounting isn’t the most exciting thing in the world. And, it’s probably not why you decided to go into business for yourself.
You probably have a very good product or service that you’re very passionate about. And your offering will delight customers and beat the competition.
However, eventually, you will be faced with the reality of accounting. And it’s best that you’re prepared for it now so you don’t suffer consequences later.
That's why in this episode, I’m going to simplify the accounting basics for small business owners.
Outline:
Intro: (0:00)
What is Accounting?: (2:02)
Why is Business Accounting Important?: (2:30)
The Accounting Process for Small Business?: (5:17)
Recap of Small Business Accounting: (14:01)

It’s only distracting in my opinion because they’re too loud compared to the voice and they’re also not lined up properly, I also feel like not all the sound effects matched up with the graphics as well

Starting a small business, and I am trying so hard to learn to like the accounting side of things rather than dreading it. I appreciate the persuasive overview. I am beginning to see that it's crucial to start good habits in case my business scales up one day. This was super for an absolute beginner. I first just needed to learn the terminology in a straightforward way. It's a lot more interesting when you own the business.

Thanks for sharing Denelle, yes starting a business is hard in general. I would say that don't get to worried about the accounting side until your starting to spend some serious money or make at least 5 figures in revenue

Thank you so much for the great info, because as a new business owner I do dread the accounting aspect of things. But if I want my business to succeed then I must embrace all areas of the business...including the financial part. So thank you for helping us to understand the importance of financial and for making it enjoyable to learn.💕🙏

This is soooo good! I've been in business for more than 25 years. Accounting has always been the weakest area of my business skillset. This was extremely helpful! I love how you presented the information in a clear, concise, and simple way. I didn't even like accounting when I was in college. That's probably why it is one of the most neglected parts of my business. But, not for long...

Me too... to be honest, all of this accounting stuff kinda drives me nuts. My business is low profit margin and tough to keep afloat as it is so hiring an accountant isn't realistic... but learning all of this myself is making my brain hurt and stressing me out. Maybe I should just come up with the cash to hire an accountant?
